Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopez on Pedraza: It's Not Someone That I Would Have Liked To Face

[ShoulderRoll]

Heck, he was supposed to fight Barboza in his first fight at 140 instead of Pedro Campa.

He could have at least fought Barboza in his second fight at the weight instead of Pedraza.

His options were barren, doe.

Barboza is high risk but also high reward. Pedraza is not but Pedraza is also a really good fighter.

I agree with you brother, but I'll still be rooting for Pedraza to pull off the upset.

I understand Teo stand here. Being that Pedraza is coming of a lost and draw, the public will expect a dominating performance by Teo, but anyone that knows boxing know that Pedraza will be a tougher than expected fight. This a low reward-high risk fight for Teo. Not sure why he didn’t go the barboza route instead.

Pedraza will sell better at MSG, in NYC!

At least Teo not saying he’s his own boss then runs to the real boss for fight protection…. A well known, overhyped WW does this..

Josh Taylor finishes his career.

Kambosos is nowhere near the technician Pedraza is. I'll admit, Pedraza is getting long in the tooth, but Teo can be boxed. Sniper had the skill, if he has a good night, he can give Teo fits.

Wether he wants Pedraza or not is irrelevant. He has to earn his shot in this division, so he needs to suck it up. Perhaps if he didn't start with such a poor opponent as Campa, he'd be past this level already. His choice more than he knows.

This is a stay busy fight and 2nd fight at 140. Pedraza is a good opponent that'll do ok in NY I'm sure.

Pedraza vs. Barboza needs to be for a title. But I'd like to see Barboza against a puncher like Lipinets first.

Barboza was available!

You got it!

Regarding the author, I wonder what an oyster following is.
